Iva Goldman

Iva Goldman, chair and associate professor of communication, is the recipient of the Distinguished Service Award for Improving Student Life.

Goldman has built successful relationships through her willingness to get to know her students. She connects students to campus and community activities and programs that enhance their learning by incorporating those elements into her course content.

She volunteers as a department advisor, staffs the department for registration, and is a favorite reference for many.

Goldman once said that her goal was to be the kind of professor that parents hoped their children would meet when they went away to college—someone who could be a resource beyond the classroom.

She made significant contributions to increasing the quality of life for the many students who have crossed her path for more than 30 years at UH Hilo.

The Chancellor’s Awards honor outstanding service by UH Hilo employees.
